Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started, but I'm studying in France for a year, and I would like very much to see what I can of this continent and meet some nice people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just started, but a friend told me it was a great resource. He has hosted some people and we've hung around to have meals and good times with interesting people from all over.

Interests

Lately I spend my time with cinema, music, and cultural theory. And trying to speak French. I also like to eat and cook the different cuisines of the world. When I have a bicycle, I like to ride it. I write sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Taj Mahal is embarrassingly impressive I guess. But the most amazing thing I ever saw was a special set of glasses which produced a series of blinking lights and beeps in your brain when you closed your eyes. I forget their name. They are expensive though.
